Culligan HSH-C135 Hand Held Water Filtered Showerhead, Chrome Finish

I cannot express how thankful I am to have found this product! I also own the shower head version WSH-C 125 and it transformed my daughter's chlorine damaged hair back to silk! I had exhausted everything and after extensive research I learned what hard water can do to hair. Add to the equation our new pool and chlorine and her fine blonde hair turned to straw in a matter of 2 months. Now I no longer smell the chlorine in her hair and after one shampoo her hair was changed. I was so shocked. I have a full review of this struggle under the other shower head. I myself have brown fine but coarse highlighted hair and my natural "frizz" and texture of my hair has improved dramatically as well. It is softer than it has been in years. All the damage and abuse is being washed away. I decided to purchase the hand held version as well due to a large golden retriever that loves to find mud puddles in the backyard. I was nervous seeing the earlier reviews with the mounting bracket, but I did find where they changed this and improved the product. My husband installed this in 10-15 minutes which included removing the old one as well. We have low water pressure and I was worried about the filter making it even worse. The flow and pressure from both of the shower heads is better than my old ones! It's insane AND we left the flow restrictors in place! I actually have decent water pressure now and I get hot water more quickly. Usually it takes 4-5 minutes for our hot water to make it downstairs to our bathroom and kitchen sink. I had hot water in 1:45 seconds. The kitchen....still a sore spot! I have no problems with the angle or adjusting the spray. Is it heavy? Of course. It's just as heavy as my old hand held that didn't have a filter! Luckily I don't have to try and shower with this in my hand because I would make a massive mess! I love having it to bathe the dog for his inopportune rolls in the mud and to clean the shower as well. When I am bathing the dog the handle feels comfortable in my hand and it's not heavy to me, it feels just like my previous Moen one. The mount is also nice and secure. It's a high quality fixture. Whatever your needs are for the shower head you can order this one in confidence. I'm glad I decided to try it. Don't let the old reviews deter you, they did improve the mounting bracket. This thing is awesome. Attractive, functions, amazing results and cheap filter replacement cost. 09/06/2016 Update: My damaged hair no longer feels like straw. I had no idea that hard water could play such an important role! I attributed the texture and feel to having highlights and color on a regular basis. I have been using the new shower heads just shy of a month and unlike my daughter's transforming over night mine has taken longer, and rightfully so. My frizz is under control and continuing to improve. I have also noticed it is starting to look substantially healthier. It no longer feels like straw either. Honestly, I can't even remember my hair being soft due to the texture which has now changed so much it's still surreal. My hair hasn't looked this heathy in 20 years. Reminds me of the hair I had as a child. I was also watching my daughter play volleyball this weekend and sitting in the upper level I noticed her hair shined more than any of the other girls. It has a certain glow that is easy to see and has great body to it. No products being used. All the money I had wasted on products and treatments and it's just a simple shower head. Wow.

I've actually purchased three of these over the years. I had one for probably ten years and finally needed to replace it as the nubs the water comes out of were brittle and breaking after so long. I recently bought another one for my second bathroom. It is a bit heavy because of the filter in the head, but it's not unusable. It's just something to get used to. I like that it softens the water. It makes it less itchy to shower, especially for my family members with dry skin. The filter is easy to install/replace and I've never had an issue getting replacement filters. There are three settings for the water, I don't usually change it though. A basic shower, a softer more aerated setting, and a hard massaging setting. Overall I like this showerhead a lot and as long as it still exists when the current ones need to be replaced (hopefully another 10 years) I'd buy it again.

So far, we like it just fine. As mentioned in other reviews, the spray is a little straight-forward but the different settings will allow you to find something that will be live-able. The filter seems good and the water was fine (clean shower). We didn't have bad city-water before...but we like the idea that it will be even better now. The flexibility of the hand-held w/hose will be great with baby when she comes (later this year). Drawbacks might be that, as a hand-held, it is just a little bit heavy. However, we are looking forward to using it to clean baby either way. It seems that filter changing is quite easy. Probably a person should stock up on the filters ahead of time since you are change it every six-months (or more often if you have bad water). Included was a calendar sticker to help remind you when to change filter out (nice feature). The install was a snap (as you have read in other reviews). Really easy. Of note might be the fact that the "holder" for the showerhead is at the "base" of the showerhead so this unit will actually make the height at which your "water comes out" about 8 inches higher than it was before you changed from conventional showerhead to this one. The hose seems really solid and the rest is made of the chrome plastic we are all used to working with by now. Seems solid though. We weren't able to find anything else on the market, including the filter, that was as reasonably priced as this unit.

I really liked the idea behind the filtered hand held shower head. Once installed, however, this one did not work. One, the handheld device with the filter installed is very heavy. Two, once we put the handheld device into the bracket, it would not stay adjusted to spray outward...it was so heavy that it just drooped straight down. I called the Customer Service at Culligan and they suggested tightening the bracket, which I did, but it did not help. Basically, the handheld device is too heavy for the bracket. Poorly designed. Sending back today.

I'm very happy with this so far, my hair is less dry and frizzy and it appears to be good for my severe eczema.

Fantastic product. Instant results, we were dealing with heavily chlorinated and hard water. Our hair was dry, brittle, tangled, and our skin felt tight and irritated after showers. Installation was easy, the results were instant. Hair is soft and detangled, skin is soft and comfortable again. The shower head is very heavy from the weight of the cartridge, and it does tend to drop forward, but that's my only complaint. There is another shower head style without a wand if that seems like a big issue for you, I assume it works just as well.

Dont know if it had any effevt but the fact that the filters are more expensive than the showerhead+filter makes it useless

Made a huge difference! We have extremely hard water here in Rockwood Ontario CA this year seemed to be worse with my skin full of rashes and peeling skin, dry scalp and really icky feeling hair ( no good for me as it is super thick and down to my waist). Had hubby install this and although the reviews seem to be accurate regarding water pressure being low and the handle itself being very heavy,I haven't had any other difficulties. good product Culligan !

The shower head comes with a hose which clips into my existing riser rail. However due to the heavier head the mounting bracket tends to sag beneath the weight, causing the head to tilt down. I've tried tightening the clamp but may have to invest in another riser rail/clamp. That aside the filtered water is proving to need a lot less cleaning of the scale build up of the old unit.
